PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES

1–4

� Movement Picture Chart

Put up pictures that help identify the basic movement skills (i.e.,transport, manipulation, balance).

� Movement Word Wall

Have students help develop a word list of basic movement skills.Print the movement vocabulary words on cards and post them asthe skills are performed. (See Word Wall, K–4 ELA,Strategies–199.)

� It’s Your Move

Using the Think-Pair-Share strategy, have pairs of students taketurns to perform and name the various movements. Havestudents match their actions to those in the pictures on theMovement Picture Chart. (See Think-Pair-Share, K–4 ELA,Strategies–15.)

� On Stage

Have half the class perform a basic movement represented oncard titles and/or pictures held up by the instructor. The otherstudents, who are not allowed to see the cards, use a checklist oftitles and/or pictures to indicate which movement is beingperformed. Have the class switch roles.

Variation: Simply have the audience put up their hands if theyrecognize the movement.

����K.1.1.A.1 Recognize the basicmovement skills (i.e., transport,manipulation, balance) used indifferent physical activities.

TEACHER NOTES SUGGESTIONS FOR ASSESSMENT

Grade 1: Movement–Knowledge

1–5

Introduce, explain, use, and reinforcemovement vocabulary throughoutthe year.

The purpose of the student learningoutcomes and of this document is toensure that all students acquire theknowledge, skills, and attitudes tobecome physically active and tomake health-enhancing decisionsdesigned to improve their personalquality of life.

The knowledge outcomes often relateclosely to the skill outcomes and,therefore, the suggested learningactivities are at timesinterchangeable and complementary.

Attitude indicators for each of thegeneral student learning outcomesdefine the desired attitudes and areincluded to guide teachers inanecdotal reporting of attitudes.Always encourage students todevelop positive attitudes throughinvolvement in emotionally safe,enjoyable, personally meaningful,and challenging learningenvironments.

The learning outcomes and attitudeindicators are listed

• at the end of each GLO section

• on the summary charts for eachGLO (see Framework Excerpts)

• on the poster chart included withthis document

Refer to Basic Movement Skills(K–3) (Manitoba Education andTraining) for more information onbasic movement skills and ondeveloping skill posters that can beused as visual tools. Skill posters canalso be obtained through theManitoba Movement Skills

� Questioning: Movement Picture ChartTeacher: Inventory

After students have identified pictures of basic movement skills,discuss and determine which basic movement skills are used in avariety of sports/activities.

(Note that all sports use some form of basic movement skills.)

Examples:

• Soccer—all players: running, jumping, throwing, kicking(goal tenders: ball rolling/catching)

• Diving—running, jumping, hopping, balancing (static anddynamic)

Ask students to name different sports/activities for skill analysis.

� Observation: It’s Your MoveTeacher: Informal Inventory

Observe whether or not students recognize basic movementskills.

� Movement Exploration (force and body position)

Develop demonstrations that display how balance is affected byspeed, weight, and base of support.

Questions for Discussion:

Use the following suggested questions for discussion as theyapply to the different learning activities:

• Why is it easier to stop when going slowly than when goingfast?

• Why is it easier for a small person than for a big person tostop?

• Why does bending your knees help you to land safely?

� Learning Outcome Connection

Have students participate in various gymnastic landing activitiessuggested for learning outcome S.1.K.D.2 and discuss howbalance is affected by force and body position.

Review safety rules related to landings. Ensure that students donot bend knees more than 90 degrees. Check landing areas foreven and clear landing surfaces and keep heights of elevatedobjects for jumping to knee height.

SUGGESTIONS FOR INSTRUCTION

Students will...

PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES

����K.1.1.B.2 Show anunderstanding that balance isaffected by the amount of force(i.e., speed, weight) and bodyposition (i.e., bent knees, feet apart indirection of movement, arms spread)in stopping and landing activities(e.g., stops and starts, jumping fromlow heights, movementexploration...).

1–8

Page 9: 1. Grade 1 Mov't - Province of Manitoba

� Questioning/Interview: Movement Exploration andGymnastic LandingsTeacher: Inventory

After students have participated in the physical activities, ask thefollowing questions to determine their level of understanding:

1. Is it easier to stop at a slow speed or a fast speed?

2. When you place your feet apart rather than together, is iteasier to keep your balance when stopping?

3. To stop quickly while running, what part of your body doyou bend to keep from falling?

4. When is jumping a difficult activity for you?

TEACHER NOTES SUGGESTIONS FOR ASSESSMENT

Grade 1: Movement–Knowledge

1–9

Demonstrate to the class (or withhelp from a student) both desirableand undesirable movements/bodypositions, followed by groupimitation.

Examples of Demonstrations:

• Speed— Slow: easy to stop at

specified spot.

— Fast: harder to stop due tomomentum.

• Weight— Heavy: imagine catching a

medicine or bowling ball(land like an elephant).

— Light: imagine catching aballoon or beach ball (landlike a feather).

• Base of Support— Bent knees: bent knee

landing absorbs shock versusstraight leg, stiff landing doesnot absorb shock.

— Feet apart: wide stance forstability versus narrow stancefor instability.

— Arms spread: counterbalancesupport.

Explain the importance of goodbalance, proper speed in confinedareas, stopping at end lines ratherthan the walls, and jumping fromlow heights in order to maintainsafety.

For further gymnastic landingactivities, see Lessons A1, A2, A3,and A18 of Up Down All Around(Russell, Schembri, and Kinsman).

� Following Directions

Have students respond to verbal cues (e.g., teacher direction,audiotapes) or visual cues (e.g., pictures, arrows, signals) duringwarm-up activities for understanding of terms associated withmoving in various directions and at different levels.

Examples:

� � � �

� Creative Movement

Have students (alone, in pairs, or in small groups) design, refine,and perform a movement sequence that solves a movementproblem.

For example, the movement sequence must• have a definite beginning and ending (balance or pose)• include three different directions (forward, backward,

sideways)• include three different levels (high, medium, low)

� Forward, Backward, Up, and Down

Set up large apparatus (e.g., ladders, jump boxes, climbingframe) and have students explore movement on different areasof the apparatus (high, medium, low) while travelling forward,backward, up, down, and sideways. See Lesson A10 of UpDown All Around (Russell, Schembri, and Kinsman) foradditional ideas.

� Folk/Line Dances

Have students participate in a variety of common dances (e.g.,Seven Jumps, Jiffy Mixer, Bird Dance, Macarena, Hokey-Pokey).

� Creative Movement and Poetry

Have students respond to various movement phrases in poems.Example:

Jack-in-the-BoxIf I were a jack-in-the-box,I’d play a tune that really rocks, I’d coil up tight, then out I’d pop,Bend low, stretch up, I’d bounce and bop,I’d spring and sway from side to side, Pull in my arms then throw them wide,Then in my box I’d twist and drop,Count one, two, three, then BLOW MY TOP!

Questions for Discussion:Use the following questions as theyapply to the different activities:

• Which size of ball is easiest tothrow?

• Which size of target is easiest tohit?

• If a target is small, should youstand close or further away?

• Do you throw differently whenthe object is heavier?

• Which shape is easiest to throw?Why?

Assure students that everyonedevelops skills at different rates andthat their level of success may bedependent on previous experienceand/or ability. Therefore, studentsmay choose different distances andequipment sizes.

Use cartoons to display socialbehaviours. See Fair Play for Kids:A Resource Manual (Binder) forfurther information.

Emphasize the importance of fairplay and courteous socialbehaviours. (See learning outcomeK.1.K.C.4.)

� Big A, Little a

Select one chaser to be the “cat” who stands in the middle of theplay area in a hideout (e.g., made of mats). Have the otherplayers, starting on one end line, sing the following phrases andperform the respective actions:

• “Big A”—stretch as high as possible.

• “Little a”—crouch down low.

• “Bouncing B”—do little jumps on the spot.

• “The cat’s in the cupboard”—tiptoe slowly toward “cat.”

• “But he or she can’t catch me!”—on “me,” run to the otherend line without being tagged by the “cat.”

Have the tagged players become chasers and stand with the“cat.” The last tagged player is the next “cat.”

Variations: Select two cats for a quicker game. Select new catsfrom the remaining last six players. Play “The cat’s in thequinzhee” outdoors, chanting, “Big I, little i, bouncing B, thecat’s in the quinzhee and can’t catch me!”

� Cone Handball (manipulation)

Provide small groups of students with a soft sponge ball placedon top of a cone (ball should be near hip level) a few metresfrom a wall. One hitter faces the wall and attempts to strike theball off the cone three times with the hand. Other players standbehind the hitter and then chase the ball.

� Pirate Tag (balance)

Set up a climbing frame or various pieces of large equipmentaround the gymnasium (e.g., low vault box, climbing box,balance bench, ladder on the floor). Select two to four taggers(pirates carrying markers such as beanbags or sponge balls) andhave students move around the room, trying to avoid beingtagged by getting their feet off the floor or mats, by climbing, orby hanging, for five-second periods of time. After five secondsof balancing on one piece of equipment, students walk to anotherpiece of equipment. If caught, students switch places with thetaggers. For safety reasons, students who do not walk areautomatically caught. Students who run more than once areeliminated from the game.
